• Brownies for Breakfast in Honor of Chloe Rose ~ Thursday, February 18, 2016
On what would have been her daughter’s 8th birthday, join Mary Linn in honoring Chloe by making the day about love and connection and gratitude. In Mary Linn’s words, “In our house, we wanted to make every day “the best day ever”. February 18, 2016 would have been Chloe’s 8th birthday. To honor and remember my only child, my sweet Chloe Rose, I invite you to join me in making that day your version of “the best day ever”. Want to have brownies for breakfast? Yes! Want to watch movies all day? Yes! Want to go for a walk after dinner? Yes! Want to read your kid(s) an extra bedtime story? Yes! Whatever makes you feel grateful to be alive, do it. Together, we’ll make a beautiful day in memory of a beautiful girl.” You can join and share the celebration here https://www.facebook.com/events/927851827321712/928345693938992/
